A Freedom From Religion Foundation banner is going back up in a Pennsylvania town to counter a tradition of religious displays there.

The organization’s Winter Solstice banner was first installed in Wilkes-Barre’s Public Square in December 2012 and then again in January 2013 after it was attacked by a vandal. Several attempts have been made over the years to keep the banner out of the square, but it was unfurled once more this season.

“It is our hope that one day government spaces will be free from religious exhibitionism, and until then we will do our best to counter these displays,” says FFRF Co-President Annie Laurie Gaylor.
